The Moment 'Biggest Tornado in History' obliterated 30 square miles in minutes

The Moment 'Biggest Tornado in History' obliterated 30 square miles in minutes

At least 91 people have been confirmed dead, two elementary schools have been flattened and scores of students could be trapped under the rubble after a two mile-wide tornado touched down in a highly-populated suburb of Oklahoma City in one of the worst storms the area has ever seen.The monstrous tornado roared through the Oklahoma City suburbs obliterating entire neighborhoods with winds up to 200 mph pulverizing a 30-square-mile stretch.

Block after block lay in ruins. Homes were crushed into piles of broken wood. Cars and trucks were left crumpled on the roadside.Videos are showing the speed of the storm, giving a haunting motion to the horrific tornado as seen from the parking lot of a Kentucky Fried Chicken, or outside a local high school.

A local man filmed a number of Vine videos, six-second clips made for Twitter, that show fellow residents searching through the piles of rubble- that used to be their homes- while looking for loved ones.
